Cheating is a combination of lying and stealing. When you cheat, you are misleading others in one way or another, and that’s lying. Often, cheating also involves taking information or ideas that really belong to someone else.

A basic definition of lying, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, is “speaking falsehood with the intention of deceiving.”

There’s also a second type of lying. When you hold back information that you know is necessary for another person to get a true picture of the situation, you are also intentionally deceiving.

Cheating and lying sometimes can be helpful… hmm maybe…
Cheating and lying in the most of the cases are bad thing, it isn’t good to lye someone, before that we should think how we would feel if someone lies us. And with the cheating, the same.But when you have some need you don’t think about the others. Cheating on test -one of the things that everyone do it at least once. We all want good grades and we don’t see as bad thing the cheating on test. Cheating in relationship- that’s bad, that is bad feeling and it’s not helpful. There are many kinds of cheating and for everyone there is at least one way of cheating that is helpful. Lying- lying to your parents, maybe sometimes helpful, but bad if they found out; lying to your friends if they are really your best friends you don’t have to lie them. Lying is always for some benefit, for own benefit, or for someone other… and when that help us to get something or to avoid something we think that is helpful. But the lying and the cheating aren’t things we should proud with them and use very often.

Agree or Disagree: Lying is sometimes necessary.
As children we have all been lied to for generations about frivolous thins such as The Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and The Easter Bunny. What happens when the truth comes out and feelings are hurt? Then you have to ask yourself was it really necessary? I disagree that lying is sometimes necessary. Lying especially under oath is punishable by law, makes others think of you as disloyal and untrustworthy and is so much more complicated than telling the truth.
On the other hand some people believe that telling a” white lie” (something that is believed to have little to no negative effect) to an innocent child isn’t so harsh. Another point that some point out is that children mimic what they see. A child may start lying habitually just because you told a “white lie” An innocent child may not fully understand the concept of “white lies” and when to use them. These children may end up in a cycle of repetitive lying where they find it difficult to stop altogether. When lying becomes a problem it is important to once again teach the child the consequences of lying.
Moreover, what about fibbing to a friend in regards to a surprise birthday party? You then have to think, how is this person going to accept it, if they are a forgiving person or do they hold the silliest grudges?...

In What Ways and Why do People Lie?
Lying is around us no matter where we go, all over the world, in every culture, none more than others. We are surrounded by lying especially in advertisement on television and billboards. As a rule lying is very frowned upon in society, although we all take part it in almost every day. This leads us to some questions one might have about lying. How many different ways do people lie, why do they lie, and what different kinds of reactions does lying cause?
There are many different ways people can lie. Usually when someone starts discussing lying people immediately think of what is called a direct lie; this is when someone says something that is literally untrue, this being the most offensive way of lying. An example of a direct lie is when an employee lies to their boss about why they didn’t come to work saying they were sick, when they really were going shopping instead.
Another way of lying is an indirect lie; this is when something is said that is true but incomplete, leaving out important or critical details. This would be what people consider a “social” lie, when someone just changes small details to make the story more attractive. For example, telling someone that it isn’t very cloudy outside when it is mostly cloudy, as you are trying to convince them to...

...When analyzing ethical dilemmas, my approach is to weigh all possible variables and outcomes and make an informed decision based on what the best course of action to take is after doing so. I have come up with logical reasoning as to why I came to the decision I did regarding “lying on a resume”. To me the answer is easy; don’t do it. Everything was going well for Quincy. Over the years, he had accomplished many things and his fame increased. He even held some quite prestigious teachings positions, including being a professor at the University of California at San Diego. He became known as one of the best poets in the country, a gifted teacher and person who was always giving back to the community. When 2002 came along though, things turned quite sour for Quincy. He was nominated for California’s Poet Laureate. Prior to his appointment though, the Governor’s chief of staff had an interview with him to make sure that there were no skeletons in the closet. But shortly after conducting their screening, the state legislature staffers discovered Quincy’s secret. Quincy had not graduated from Grambling, despite that fact that it was listed on his resume. Because of this discrepancy, Quincy was forced to resign his appointment as California’s Poet Laureate as well as contact University of California t San Diego and notify them about what had happened. Although most of the options are unfavorable for Quincy, one of them must go into effect in order...

Lying is a form of deception, an untruthful statement, especially with the intent to deceive others. We all lie in many different ways and we may or may not do it intentionally. Some lie because we want to avoid small or important things. Lying is morally and ethically wrong and it is used to avert unnecessary conflict. Dismissal lie is what I consider to be the most offensive lie; and it has both positive and negative consequences in any way they are used.
Dismissal is the most sneakiest lie and an occasional lie of all; and it is used to dismiss feelings, perceptions, or any facts of a situation. This lie may prove that any person’s perceptions aren’t right. For example, from the essay, a child tells her mother she’s scared, but the mother immediately tells her that “she is not”, therefore making her perceptions inaccurate. She tried to avoid the truth by suggesting her feelings of her not being scared. This is an example of a negative consequence of a dismissal lie.
Dismissal lie is avoiding the lie altogether. In addition, lying benefits both you and the person being lied to, because you didn’t hurt their feelings and they just continued to be satisfied. We all know it is impossible to live without lying and we are all put into some kind of situation where we have no choice but to tell a lie. Telling the truth may also be difficult. It is considered wise for people to tell the truth,...

Despite the fact that lying is harmful in various ways, at some point in each of our lives we have lied, some may be more than other but we all tell a little lie once in a while. In the article ''Lying'' Tim Mazur talks about the possible consequences that one can for lying and also mention various reason what may cause some to lie. Tim Mazur believes people lie to maintain relationships, please others, avoid awardness and punishment. From my perspective I believe there are circumstances where lyingcan be acceptable under the following circumstances: to maintain peace, in order to gain something beneficial that can become life-changing , to protect the wealth of others, and to please others.(implicate how lyingcan affect others and possible consequences one can face in the begging)
One circumstance under which it is acceptable for someone to tell a lie is a situation in which something beneficial that can become life-changing by virtue of the lie. An opportunity that is life-changing can improve the course of one's day-day existence drastically. And that being said, if one's day to day existence can be improved drastically, then a lie (especially a small one) is well-worth it. For example, the possibility to gain a career through...

...Cheating is the worst thing a parent could do, especially if they have children. You might think to yourself, “Nah, my child is doing great in life, even though they know that my husband slept with a woman.” Are you serious? Do you really think children like us do not get affected by the mess that is caused in a relationship? Of course we do! We live with you, remember? We see things and hear things. We know exactly what’s going on. Just because I choose to stay in my room for hours does not mean that I am not consciously aware of what is going on around me. When it comes to divorce, I will likely end up being involved. If the police were to get involved in the mess because one of you crazy lunatics decides to do something bizarre, again, I will likely be involved. Divorces that are caused by cheating will affect children as they get older, especially if they are teenagers. It will affect their school life, the way they think about the parent that cheated, and their future. As a teenager myself, this issue can lead to a variety of problems throughout our lives if you are one of those parents with relationship issues because if anything happens to us, it’s on you.
School is the most important thing in my life and I know if I don’t do well, I'm not going to be able to have a future and it will be all because of you. To begin with, teens like me are not necessarily open about their problems, so instead it shows in my progress...

...another person or group who knows it is not the truth. The practice of communicating lies is lying, and a person who communicates lie may be termed a liar. Generally the term “lie” carries a negative connotation. In certain situations, however lying is permitted, expected, or even encouraged. Because believing and acting on false information can have serious consequences. Due to research, lies can be divided into 34 categories. Fraud, noble lie, puffery, weasel word, haystack answer and contextual lie are some of them. Once a lie has been told, there can be two alternative consequences. Either it can be discovered or remain undiscovered. Under some circumstances, discovery of a lie may lead to social or legal sanctions.
On the earth, people lie to save themselves or the other way to save others. Actually, lying gives many negative consequences to the one who lies and to others also. Lying in a close relationship is not completely cost free. In a close relationship, lying might destroys trust and creates a great distance. When one of the partner lies, it limit’s the other partner’s choice. In a relationship, the partner will usually lie when they are together. For example, they lie about why they can’t spend time together or see each other. They also lie about bad habits that they have such as drug usage. In relationships,...

...﻿Sometimes the sky’s too bright.
- Dylan Thomas
Thomas describes the thoughts and feelings of falling out of a broken relationship with metaphors like the profusion of images and things. The poem has also explored the perspectives of both parties in the failed relationship. It also uncovers the facades of the “ over fruitful smiles” as it describes the genuine feelings underneath.
“ Sometimes the sky’s too bright” denotes that submission is the only thing left to do after a broken relationship. The metaphor of the sky and the wildlife of it describes the love the persona is in. “ Sometimes the sky’s too bright,” shows how sometimes love can be too intense and too glaring as described by “ bright”. Also, “ or has too many clouds or birds” illustrates the obstructions in the sky, blocking the view where birds and clouds are the metaphors of the different obstacles and blurring a relationship can have. The persona is using these metaphors to paint a visual image of how a relationship is like the sky, unpredictable. When it’s clear, the future is vivid and distinct, however, clouds and bird may suddenly infest the view, blurring the road ahead of the relationship. The poem continues by “ And far away’s too sharp a sun to nourish thinking of him. “ In my opinion, this refers to how the persona thinks that the imminent future of...
